Question from Annie N

Is sun protective clothing, with built in sunscreen, safe to use? The company, Coolibar (coolibar.com), has several fabrics with protective elements like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide permanently in the fabric of the clothing item.

Debra’s Answer

I took a look at the website. Two things I am not certain about. 1) What types of finishes might be on the fabrics. 2) How are the sunscreens attached to the fabrics.

So I can’t give you a definitive answer.
